I didn't find Kingler that hard to coutner. Gengar nullifies the very predictable Hyper Beam after your SD's. T-Bolt means you are a goner.
Any special attacker will force the switch on Kingler.

Type/s: Water HP: 313 Attack: 358 Defense: 328 Speed: 248 Special: 198
Crabhammer Swords Dance Body Slam Hyper Beam
Kingler's main faults, like most Swords Dance users, are a lack of STAB moves and terrible defenses. Kingler manages to stand out with a monstrous defense stat and Crabhammer. While Kingler's special stat is terrible, the fact that Crabhammer will always be a critical hit negates this fact. Kingler can actually be played in OU because his speed isn't terrible in the metagame, and he can give several Pokemon a scare. Not even Tauros will want to tangle with a Pokemon that gets 2HKOd by Crabhammer and can't do much back without luck.
Ultimately though, Kingler will need luck to really sweep a team. It's very difficult in the RBY metagame to not get paralyzed, and once that happens to Kingler he won't be doing much. Even if he doesn't get paralyzed though, Kingler has that awful special to worry about. I consider Kingler kind of equal in both metagames in that he needs the special attackers to be paralyzed and/or dead to truly shine. It's that necessity to be supported that makes Kingler outclassed by other sweepers.
Other options: No, and don't use Surf because you're afraid of missing.
